El desarrollo hasta el momento... / So far this is the sample that looks closer to what i had imagined.
Unintentional Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss painting. Honestly, It was not planned, but I think it resembles her.
I have been thinking about a forthcoming exhibition at a National Trust property near here later in the Spring. I am to submit work for display in the Gardener's Bothy and for this I am making some miniature garden books.
I have long had an interest in dolls' houses and miniatures and an exhaustive search of the attic has unearthed a miniature greenhouse I made many years ago.
At that time I had made a clay tile floor, and I'd even marked clearly on the back of each tile it's relevant position.
All I can say is that either the tiles have warped in the meanwhile or I got my numbering wrong but I've struggled today setting the tiles into the floor without to many gaps.
This is the result.
I've just brushed dried tea leaves into the surface of the tiles and the gaps in the hope that it will look like earth.
It's very uneven and will make the furniture wobbly but it does add a little authenticity to the space.
All for the sake of mounting the TV. In hind sight, it would have been a lot quicker and cheaper to get a piece of furniture and be done with it eh. Of course that would be too easy. So what we thought that would be a couple of hours weekend DIY project, turned into a 3-weekend job which included calling in an electrician :(
Now we are 15% closer to completing the second last room in the house to complete the never-ending projects which started almost 4 years ago. We are getting there...slowly, hopefully but surely ;).
Using lots of PVA glue.
It's a good job that the sun is out for once as it's going to take ages to dry.

In 2010 i think Im gonna focus on a new set of work, continuing from my college work of paintings and digital prints, but making it exclusively paintings. I like trying my hand at digital, but its painting that really moves me.
So Im going to do less photography and more paintings in 2010. Im hoping to exhibit them, so I may, may not (?) post them all on here, but show you glimpses of them instead. College isnt going too well mentally, so I need to find a focus to work.
Im also nearly at the end of a 4 year project of painting 3 sets of Buddhist Statues for a local Buddhist Centre's very large shrine, which will be the main focus of the whole community. This has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.
My B.A is looking less likely to be finished as Im no longer enjoying it.......
Thank you to all the artists and photographers on here, who really inspire me to carry on working. xox
Okay another swap going on here. I hope she ain't looking. Hey I just noticed my "new" 1980's bracelets got in the photo too. They are soooo cool I remember having loads of those and some matching jelly shoes too.
In the UK this rare orchid is now confined to the southern part of England where it lives in short, cropped grass on chalk or limestone. The small size and overall green-yellow colouration would make it difficult to find although it can be in such huge numbers at Noar Hill that it doesn't take you too long. The name comes from the strong honey scent.

I bought three canvases last week and they have been intimidating me ever since.
Two are needed for projects which I have almost finished and the other ( the largest) is for an exhibition in the Autumn.
I took the plunge today as the weather has improved overnight and prepared the backgrounds for the first two pieces.
One is covered with tissue, the other with pieces of French newspaper. They will both be coated with gesso later
